Persona 4: Dancing All Night To Feature Remixes By Japanese Music Artists

Yes, Persona 4: Dancing All Night is tied to the series’ story. Don’t ask us how. It’s a rhythm game starring Rise Kujikawa, who has finally taken her idol career all the way, and will feature other Persona 4 characters as well.

The Dance for Everyone’s Souls. Can you dig in and bust that groove with your true self?

So yeah, no chance this gets localized now… that would be a licensing nightmare to deal with many different music artists. Oh well, I’ll import.

If we can get Project Diva f, I think we can this. Besides, its not like P4A & P4G didn’t have remixes…

Arcana Wiz

and hyperdimension nept…. this shows that the west finally began to receive this genre.

HDN actually isn’t a rhythm game at all from what I’ve researched. Its more VN/Dating Sim/Idol Management

You don’t match beats up with the songs, instead you are in charge effects and camera work :V

Arcana Wiz

ohhh i thinked it had some rhythm elements…. awww. well but it shows that the west is growing a market to games centered around music and seeing your prefered characters dancing

MrTyrant

Well I like Idolmaster because of the VN/Datim sim/Idol Management is the most fun part for me but I also enjoyed the rhythm parts because Is imposible for me to say they weren’t fun yet sice Im not very fond to this type of games a purely rhythm game only is a big no IMO.

It seems P4 dancing will have some story but I wonder how much it’s going to be or if there is any simulation part on this one.

Lutfi Ardiansyah

this is Persona !!, of course it will be localized XD

well i hope so,,

Mirai

whoa this is actually Canon? I can understand Rise dancing since she’s an idol but the other characters too? Now i’m interested to see how they are going to explain this outcome of events after Arena’s.

Imagine the reactions the P4 characters are going to have to the situation in this game… It’s going to be hilarious.

I might be showing my age here, but I’m glad Tetsuya Komuro is on this. Guy’s a wizard.

Morricane

Yeah I was like “…that’s some pretty big names in the japanese music producer scene”…

Shippoyasha

TK is a huge name to attach to this game. They are adding some legendary music cred to this game. This gaming sounds like a must buy more and more.

Göran Isacson

As someone who isn’t knowledgeable about Japanese music, what has he done that I should be aware of, so I can get a feel for what kind of music will be in the game?

Brandonmkii

Well, he’s a producer mostly these days, so his music shouldn’t be indicative of the kind of styles you’ll see in the game, I think.

He was the keyboardist for TM Network, a popular 80′s band. He then went on to be a extremely successful music producer, and to this day he still produces top acts, tours, and writes many hit songs for other artists. His wikipedia page has a list of artists he’s collaborated with, and songs he’s worked on, My personal favorite is “Get Wild” by TM Network.

I love that the Midnight Channel lets them get away with any idea no matter how silly and still be part of a serious storyline.

Warren

But did anyone really doubt that we wouldn’t see this as a game after they had them dancing in The Golden’s’ opening?

Espoir

Rise’s got the moves, BUT NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT KANON </3

I’m actually really excited for this game Persona games always have really great music!

Warren

Please include that song from persona Q opening “Carousal”, i would absolutely by this game…but I’m probably going to by it anyway.

Strain42

Okay, so this takes place post Arena 2, that’s all well and good, but here’s the big question…does it also take place post Golden epilogue? (would seem weird if it doesn’t since the epilogue makes it sound like the last time they saw the MC was during the events of the fighting games)

But since Kanji is already a confirmed playable character…will this be black haired Kanji?

Kaetsu

In the trailer I thought I saw Kanji’s silhouette with his jacket on but I could be wrong. I really hope they have old Kanji because his new look doesn’t suit him.

Byron Kerrison II

Love all three songs. I hope they put in Reach Out To The Truth (P4A Mix).

The story is set half a year after Persona 4, when Rise Kujikawa returns to the world of show business. Rumors begin spreading of a mysterious video on a certain website, which watched at midnight transports viewers to the “other side,” never to awaken again. And members of Rise’s idol group “Kanamin Kitchen” start to disappear.

Persona 4 characters like Yu Narukami and Rise, as well as new junior idol character Kanami Mashita, are confirmed to appear as players “Battle Dance” against shadows in a mysterious world known as the “Mayonaka Stage.”

On the one hand, I don’t know if Daisukes music is something you DANCE to. It’s something you ROCK to, no doubt about it, but the two aren’t always so easily connected so I don’t know how good a fit it would be.

On the other hand: a music game with Ishiwataris music is probably a game I would buy no matter WHAT theme it had.

How come someone doesn’t want to dance with that song?
Lol, well joking aside, it’s just my 2 cents. The world needs more Ishiwatari’s music.

Maia Kasoya

I wish there was some chance of Dream of Butterfly showing up, or at least a non-P3/P4 song.

At first I have no idea what is so fun playing Project Diva, questioning what the hell is wrong with people who loves those vocaloid thing or something…

Until I end up seeing a pretty cute cosplayer as vocaloid and ends up for me to playing the Project Diva game…

and yes…….
I’M LOVING it! never thought that playing rhythm game is so much fun and addicting.
Not to mention seeing bright atmosphere to lighten my mood by just playing it.

and soon, they release this kind of game (which is the same developer) as one of my favourite RPG title.

I wholeheartedly….ACCEPT IT.

Göran Isacson

Ha ha oh my God it IS canon, confirmed and delightful. I wonder if it will be an actual part of the ongoing plot, or just a fine side-distraction where Yu comes down with the Saturday Night Fever and joins Rise as a back-up dancer or whatever. As long as they got the budget for it and don’t try to get TOO serious with the plot, I’ll be all for this.
